Four Fan Arts Entry

Characters in this #FourFanArts Challenge Entry: AOL Instant Messenger Running Man, The Peanut Butter Jelly Time Dancing Banana, Jennifer (Hebereke), Star Pixie (MapleStory).

You have heard about the #SixFanArts Challenge. But what about the lite variants such as the #ThreeFanArts Challenge and the #FourFanArts Challenge? Well, this comic is taking on the #FourFanArts Challenge.

Do you remember the time when AOL Instant Messenger once ruled the messaging scene? Its mascot, a yellow Running Man, became an iconic figure because he was everywhere—on the login screen, in the ads and even on AOL CDs that flooded mailboxes in the late 1990s.

The Dancing Banana needs no introduction whatsoever. Created by Trym Stene in 1999, the Dancing Banana GIF only soared in popularity when it got combined with the song "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" by DJ Chip-Man and The Buckwheat Boyz in the early 2000s. And yes, there is a lot of fan art of this Dancing Banana on the Internet.

You may have heard about Hebereke, but what about the titular character's other friends? Jennifer the green anglerfish deserves some love too since he's the 4th member of the main cast and is able to walk underwater.

While MapleStory fans often like to talk about the Orange Mushrooms, the Slimes, and several major bosses such as Pink Bean and Zakum, the Star Pixie, however, gets very little attention from Nexon and MapleStory fans. It may have been featured in a few official MapleStory wallpapers, but it rarely got the spotlight from Nexon. So much for being overshadowed by multiple different characters.

In Memory of Chuck Norris

On the 19th of March, 2026, 9 days after Chuck Norris celebrated his 86th Birthday, The End finally came for Chuck Norris. Even in death, Chuck Norris will still live on.

To quote Mike Tyson when he tweeted his farewell to Muhammad Ali, "God came for his champion. So long great one."

Overdue Cessation of Operations

Remember that comic about Cohost closing down? Well, this already happened to Japanese web portal Goo, and now this is happening to the Lycos-owned website hosting services Tripod and Angelfire, both of which have been around since the mid-1990s. However, some netizens say that this closure was long overdue, while others will lament over this closure, calling it the end of an era, which is actually true.

As depressing as this sounds, maybe we need to heed the words of Isaiah 43:18-19, which has been discouraging us from dwelling on the past, whether it's good or bad. Eventually, we will have to embrace the post-Apocalyptic future, where traces of this present cruel Age no longer have any meaning other than to serve as a reminder of a bygone Era.

Imminent Regret

On the 14th of March, 2026, Cuba was rocked by one of the biggest revolts since Fidel Castro's 1959 Revolution. This revolt was in protest against the Communist regime amid blackouts that were made worse by a US oil blockade.

Speaking of Cuba's 1959 Revolution, SNK lionized this revolution in their 1987 Arcade game Guerrilla War, which was originally released in Japan as Guevara. In Guerrilla War, Player 1 is in the shoes of the titular character Che Guevara, while Player 2 takes up the role of Fidel Castro. Now that the Cuban people are revolting against the ideology that Che Guevara and Fidel Castro fought for in Guerrilla War, should the Communist regime fall, it will leave SNK wallowing in regret because the Arcade game that was based on the 1959 Cuban Revolution will be on the list of poorly-aged things.

Hotel New World Memorial Proposal

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Infamous Hotel New World collapse that caused the deaths of 33 people. However, at the time of this comic being uploaded, no physical monument to the tragedy has been erected. This includes the lack of a memorial plaque inside Hotel New World's replacement Owen House by Habyt (previously Hmlet), which used to be called Fortuna Hotel before it adopted its current name. A memorial plaque inside Owen House would not only serve as a memorial to the tragedy, it would also serve as a memorial to resilience as well.

Forming the number 800

Can we all agree that the Space Invaders aliens are capable of arranging themselves into various formations, including numbers?

We did it, readers, we made it to 800 comics. This is no easy feat for me, but I have finally crossed that milestone. Next stop, 900 comics.

Piracy Tax

Emergency Alert! Italian netizens' freedoms are under threat from a piracy tax that demands all who use cloud storage to pay a tax even if they did not violate any anti-piracy laws whatsoever! Benito Mussolini's ideology has risen from its grave, and this is a bad omen for Italy and the whole world!

While the world was holding its breath during Operation Epic Fury, which saw the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, and the Iranian Navy suffering its Pearl Harbor moment, resulting in Iran suffering a far worse humiliation that surpassed Operation Midnight Hammer, Italy's copyright regulatory board was imposing a piracy tax on Italian netizens, regardless of whether they violated any anti-piracy laws or not. This is tyranny that would make the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) look like a weak attempt to overtake the European Union's copyright regulations, which it is...

Before the ratification of the so-called Sonny Bono Act that gave rise to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the European Union has always wanted to impose a global copyright regulatory system that many countries tried so hard to comply, but just could not meet its required standards. These copyright standards can be traced back to a 1939 copyright bill that was proposed by the Nazi regime in Germany, but was only ratified in 1965 by the Federal Republic. What the world does not realize is that de-Nazification turned out to be a farce, meaning the Federal Republic of Germany had essentially ratified a copyright regulation that was proposed by the Nazis. This in turn, led to European Union member states such as France and Italy adopting Germany's copyright laws. Even worse still, Germany's copyright offices were run by former Nazis, and it was Germany's copyright offices that came up with the copyright regulations that copyright trolls falsely accuse netizens of violating.

We think the so-called Sonny Bono Act that led to the ratification of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was a nefarious plot by Hollywood and Disney to expand their property rights. Contrary to popular belief, the DMCA was in reality, a pathetic attempt by the Bill Clinton administration to align America's copyright regulations with the European Union's standards. Those standards, however, had their origins in a 1939 copyright bill that the Nazis proposed, but did not get ratified due to World War 2, and was only passed in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1965.

For those who think Nazism and Fascism died along with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, they are dead wrong. Revelation 17:8 speaks about a beast that "was, and is not, and yet is". This final resurrection of the Roman Empire is taking over copyright law, and it will have the whole world under its iron grip once more. However, it will meet its doom. First, it will be crippled by a coalition of Communist rogue states, then it will get finished off by the return of Jesus Christ. The Roman Beast that keeps coming back will finally be cast down into the Lake of Fire, and it will die in Hellfire.
